I had a facebook argument about this earlier today during which I was told that

1) It didn't happen at all. So I presented proof in the form of your post with screengrabs then
2) The screenshots were too dark to see anything. When pointed out that wa sa lod of bollocks and you could clearly see it changed to

I just don't understand how so many people missed it on the first viewing . He clearly gestures to Nicola that he's going to do it before he does, I was like "Err surely he's not actually going to..." so I guess I was watching to see if he actually went through with it... so to speak...

This thread furthers Austin into Bottom 10 housemate territory for me

[Amy Jade]

I never noticed this. He should be warned, James clearly didn't take it as a joke and the two had been arguing before so it wasn't friendly imo

I don't really think there are many situations even between friends that an arse stab would be appreciated.

I am ever so tempted to try this on one of my best mates next time we are out, just to gouge reaction.

I missed this when I watched the ep but just watched the clip and yeah he was gross. It was weird how he went about it beforehand too, holding his finger up to Nicola (I think it was her?) as if to say "look what I'm about to do *teehee*"... very odd person. I'm surprised James didn't flip out at him in all honesty.

You know I actually thought for a second should i try it on the misses to see how she reacted but i thought better of it.

This is an absolute piss take to legit sexual assault victims. What Austin did was vile and wrong, but SEXUAL ASSAULT? Jesus Christ, just stop.

the incident was so quick you cant be sure of the contact & anyhow james didnt make anything of it so I dont see why we should

Not a fan of Austin in this series but didn't think it was that bad, kicking was worse, anyway James J seemed quite happy with him today

Personally I don't think it should really matter whether or not James reacted or complained about it. If someone is attacked for example, is the attacker justified in doing it if the victim doesn't complain? Or if someone commits a robbery, is it ok that they did it if the person who was robbed doesn't report it? They're still crimes and the people responsible are still just as bad for committing them. (I'm not trying to say that what Austin did was as serious as those things btw - I don't, I'm just highlighting my point that I don't think the act itself should be judged acceptable just because the 'victim' doesn't do anything about it.)

[the truth]

if it was done to a woman the guy would be kicked out and probably arrested. proving yet again the white male is the most discriminated against in this basket case of a show and a country

Yet the perpetrator of alleged crime was also a white male.

White man gets away with sexual assault

white men are the most discriminated against in my poor little world

Beyond satire, almost ashamed to share this moment with you.

I still think the "don't voice your discomfort, it's not ejectable" applies in BB's logic. Austin was the same with JH but they were mates. I think it was very ballsy for him to do it to JJ, i thought JJ would punch him.

BUT like i said, had JJ said it was innapropriate, Austin would have at least got a warning.

Aaron BB16 didn't get removed until Joel complained. Daley didn't get spoken to until Hazel said what she did in the DR.

Whilst I dont agree with what went down, Im glad they let it ride because this whole PC crap and nit picking politically sensitive issues is killing the show. In Australia it took thousands of years to recognise Aborigines rights, In the states the indigenous native people have been battling for hundreds of years and here in the uk PC issues have changed in a matter of a tea break when paralleled with other cultures. Britain really is taking things way too seriously and something needs to be done before we turn into the worlds whingers. TV programmes like BB should be immune from some issues and left to get on with it. Everyone knows its a controvertial show yet the silliest issues reign supreme when feelings are hurt. No likey, no looky. End of. Period. If you cant stomach conflict or the breaking of PC rules, watch Discovery and leave our programme alone.
